Faculty of Law and Political Sciences

image by Ivan Sache, 25 December 2002

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, University Santiago of Cali - The image of the flag, shown without comments on the aforementioned website, is a bit problematic. The flag is made of three horizontal stripes, blue-white-green, and a vertical pink stripe is placed along the hoist. The overall proportion of the image is 100:222, but excluding the vertical stripe, we have a 1:2 flag! The colours seem also to be weird, especially the pink, but they are derived from the University shield, which is shown with a blue field, a green border and pink writings.

Santiago de Tunja, Escuela Normal Superior

image by Ivan Sache, 18 November 2010

Escuela Normal Superior Santiago de Tunja, located in Tunja, Department of Boyacá, dates back to Escuela Normal Nacional de Varones de Tunja, founded in 1870. This was part of a national program of refoundation of the Normal Schools in the states' capitals, managed by the first German Mission in Colombia. Classes started on 22 September 1872. In 1925, the institute adopted the "New School" model, promoted by Rafael Bernal Jiménez in the Department of Boyacá following a conference given by the educationalist Ovidio Decroly in Boyacá. The reformed institute was the cradle of the Faculties of Educational Sciences founded in Bogotá and Tunja, for women and men, respectively, part of the Educational and Technological University of Colombia. Since then, Escuela Normal Superior Santiago de Tunja has been an annex of the University. The institute caters today 3,500 alumni scattered over three seats (Central, Jardín Infantil and Parque Pinzón).
The flag of Escuela Normal Superior Santiago de Tunja is shown on a photo available on the institute's website as horizontally divided red-blue-white-blue-red (1:1:2:1:1). Blue means knowledge, white means purity and joy, red means watch. Oddly enough, a drawing shown just above the photo pictures the flag as horizontally divided blue-white-red (1:1:1, proportions stated in the companion text), the white stripe being charged with the black letters "E.N.S.S.T.".

Santiago Pérez, Institución Educativa Departamental

"Institución Educativa Departamental 'Santiago Pérez'", based at Zipaquirá, Department of Cundinamraca, was recognized on 29 September 1975, as "Colegio Departamental 'Santiago Pérez'", by the Department of Cundinamarca (Decree No. 31054); classes started on 1 February 1976. The current institute was formed on 30 September 2002 (Decree No. 3395) by the merging of "Colegio Departamental 'Santiago Pérez'", "Jardín Infantil 'Carrusel'" and "Colegio Básico Portachuelo"
The flag of the institute, according to photos taken in 2008 and the description available on the website of the institute, is horizontally divided light blue-yellow-red (1:2:1) with the emblem of the institute in the middle of the yellow stripe.
The flag and arms of the institute were approved by the Rector on 5 August 1976 - but the flag is subsequently said to have been designed by teacher Fabio Restrepo Parra in 1977!
The colours are the same as on the flags of Colombia and Cundinamarca. Blue represents the celeste heavens and the crystalline waters of Zipaquirá. Yellow represents the resources of the soil, as gold mined by the first inhabitants and local, modern agriculture based on wheat cropping. Red represents the "torrents of blood" shed by the local martyrs for peace, independence and liberty.
The emblem of the institute is circular, emerald green to represent the aspirations of the students and of the Colombian youth and the natural resources of the mountains surrounding the valleys of Zipaquirá, Ubaté and Chiquinquirá (that is, emeralds). The  interlaced letters "C", "S", "P" and "Z" recall the name of the institute "Colegio Santiago Perez Zipaquirá". The white "Z" symbolizes the colonial, salt-mining town of Zipaquirá. The extreme parts of the letters mark the four main compass directions. The white ring surrounding the emblem represents candor and purity of the inhabitants of Zipaquirá and innocence of the students. "DPTO. DE CUNDINAMARCA" is written in golden letters on the ring.
This is how the emblem appears on the flag photographed in 2008, see for instance here.
The symbols' page on the website of the institute shows three different representations of the emblem, none of which exactly matches the emblem actually used on the flag, and a graphic of the flag with the most recent emblem, with letters "I", "S", "P" and"Z" reflecting the new name of the institute and the name of the department dropped from the border.

Santo Ángel, Colegio del

image by Ivan Sache, 03 September 2017

"Colegio del Santo Ángel" was founded in 1958 in Bogotá by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Guardian Angel. Founded in 1839 in Quillan (Languedoc, France) by Father Louis Antoine Ormières and Mother Saint Pascal Lavrilloux, the congregation was recognized by Napoléon III in 1852 and by Pope Leo XIII in 1902. Following the expelling of the religious congregations from France in the early 20th century, most sisters relocated to Spain, where they were known as the "French Sisters". Their first presence in South America was in Venezuela, in 1950.

The flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described on the website of the institute, is white with the emblem of the institute in the middle.
White represents purity, liberty and transparency.
The emblem of the institute shows  a guardian angel guiding a child about to cross a bridge over a brook in a forest landscape. The scene is placed over a red cross bordered in yellow and surmounted by a yellow Latin cross. The emblem is inscribed in a white ring bearing the black writings "COLEGIO DEL SANTO ÁNGEL / 1839 / BOGOTÁ / 1958". 1839 and 1958 are the foundation years of the congregation and of the institute, respectively. Red and white represent love and purity.
